We were lucky to get a last minute booking here and we couldn’t fault our one night stay. From our arrival at the reception, the porter Sunshine’s friendly helpful service taking us to our beautiful accommodation, the plentiful supply of logs for the fire in our room, wonderful bath and toiletries and the delicious food both at dinner and breakfast the next day. The coffee at breakfast was the best hotel coffee I’ve had in a long time. The only disappointment was that due to load shedding we couldn’t use the spa facilities during our afternoon but I had a wonderful time using the pool , sauna etc the next day before walking back through the beautiful gardens before sadly having to say goodbye. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

What an excellent idea to book this magical place for one night. Chris the owner, was in Heidelberg by chance, met us and drove ahed of us to the villa. He gave us a great tour around the large property, which was a good idea, because the weather turned for the worse and we wouldn't have seen these beautiful vistas on the day of departure. Chris told us that he and his neighbour take good care of these large parcels of land, which mostly remain off bounds to tourists, are kept in their natural state and all non-indigenous trees are being removed. Our grandkids loved the villa's music-room and the biljart table. We all enjoyed being in this quiet, peaceful property that was filled with the owner's pieces of art, gathered from all or the world. We really felt that we were staying in someone's private home instead of in a holiday rental. Of course, as always, the big mistake was ,only book it for one night...

The booking was part of a safari experience. It was really easy to get to from Cape Town (one road the N2). All the staff were lovely and friendly and you could tell that the guides are passionate about what they do. They know where to find the animals on Safari and were very knowledgeable. The food was amazing and had good menu choices all served in a lovely restaurant with great views. We had a massage at the on-site spa which was very good and great value. I would highly recommend this place to stay and do a safari.

All animals are looking happy and healthy. Our guide drives sooo close to animals and let us make great photos. We are lucky to have this guide, absolutely great guy! I definitely recommend this amazing place!!

We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at Forest Valley Cottages. The setting is incredibly serene, with the most beautiful views that make you feel instantly relaxed. Waking up to birds chirping and the calm surroundings was truly special. The cottage was comfortable, cozy, and perfect for a quiet getaway. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature at its best!

We were looking for a quiet place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal resorts. And we found it! The location is magnificent, and the tents are actually situated in the trees of a splendid forest. Although not too high up (which might reassure some guests), the site benefits from being on the edge of a ravine, so we were really staying on a balcony in the forest.

Mossel Bay itself, has maybe not the best offers of activities. However Bay Lodge offered us some relaxing days on a beautiful location on the beach. We particularly liked the rooms with sea view. The breakfast, which we ate on the terrace had gorgeous beach view, was extraordinary. There was lots of choices from the cooked breakfast menu and interesting good fresh fruit.

Just perfect! Just out in the bush everything was clean and comfortable. The most friendly staff and a good kitchen. Great hiking possibilities as well to enjoy nature. They are building a new restaurant and will turn parts of the old restaurant/bar into rooms. Just hope they keep some parts of the current restaurant for a drink since it has the most beautiful views!

Mossel Bay is a great place to holiday and stay.

Mossel Bay is a great place to holiday and stay. All amenities are close-by : shops, entertainment, restaurants, nice little shops to browse around in. Museums are informative and showcases the history well. Getting around is easy (not during the high local holiday season). From highly adventurous activities to do for example shark cage diving, sky diving etc to lazing on the beach. During my stay the weather was perfect!

I visited Wilderness not as a tourist or holidayer but to visit cherished friends who live on Lake Road. That said, I found Wilderness very appealing with lots of things to do for those who are so inclined; a number of very good restaurants certainly appealed to me. Naturally for me, I find the bustle of holiday season a little wearing but acknowledge that is a must for local merchants.

Albertinia is a small country town without the big fast food take aways . Very rural . You can buy the basics at one of the cafes or Pizza place . There is not much as far as shops go so it is a stopover to break a long journey or a week or two of total peace and quite without too many modern day interruptions. There is a braai area and all you could want to have to have an enjoyable stop and a good night's sleep and no rush to get you out in the morning .. I simply bought rolls and cold meat and yogurt at Piet se kafee as I did not want to cook . Coffee is provided although if to a heavy coffee drinker you may want to buy a bit extra as most guest houses only give you enough for two or three cups of coffee . I had a nice chat with the owner who told me about the abundance of underground water and about the area in general...This is not a property where you can come in and drink and party and be a nuisance to others . . No smoking inside the chalets which is excellent @
